They meet regularly at the High School on the second Monday evening of each month and hold such special meetings as are necessary. The president of the Board, Mr. Delmer Hoops, is a Crooksville High graduate and a former star athlete. He is employed by the Crooksville China Company. The vice-president is Mr. Carlin France, owner of the National Brands Store on Main Street. His special interest is in athletics and he is also the chairman of the Citizens Athletic Association that built the new football field. Mr. N. B. Snell is the senior member of the Board with nearly thirty years of continuous service. He is a retired coal mine operator His special interest is building up-keep. Mr. Robert (Bobby) Robb owns a hardware store on China Street. His special interests are music and athletics. Mr. Hobart Alwine, a mine foreman at No. 52, is the only member to have a daughter in our graduating class. He shows special interest in the Board’s business affairs. The clerk of the Board is Mr. Chester Leasure. He is employed by the Board to handle all the clerical work. He is noted for his well kept books and his nromptness with pay-rolls. He is bookkeeper for the Wiseman Dairy and active in local fraternal and social organizations. N. B. SNELL HOBART ALWINE ROBERT ROBB CHESTER LEASURE Clerk-Treasurer T R A T I O N Superintendent of Schools . BETTER SCHOOLS W. Dwight Darling returned to the superintendency of the Crooksville Schools at the beginning of this school year after a military leave of absence of over four years. Mr. Darling was called to active duty as a First Lieutenant of Infantry on May 30, 1942. He served as commanding officer of the 233rd Military Police Company, Provost Marshal of the Indiantown Gap Military Reservation and finally as a Professor of Military Science and Tactics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute during his active service. He was separated from the U. S. Army as a Major of Infantry. Mr. Howard A. Zollinger served as Superintendent of Schools during the difficult war years and resigned August 1, 1946 to devote his full time to his insurance business in Crooksville. Mr. Darling has been associated with the local schools since 1930. He was recently given another four year contract by the Board of Education. He is an ardent believer in student activities and sports but states that his biggest problem is to maintain such a balance between these affairs and regular school work as to allow full scope to activities and still not interfere with the best education possible for the student. He started the first school newspaper the local schools have had since the days of school control of the Crooksville Messenger, the mimeographed semi-weekly, THE CRUX-HI-RE-VU, with the aid of Miss Coulter, Miss Snell and Miss Eswine. W. DWIGHT DARLING B. S. in Edu. and M. A. Ohio State University U. S. Naval Academy Mr. Darling has found the combined jobs of superintendent and high school principal rather difficult and time consuming. He gives full credit to the elementary principals, Mrs. Sinsabaugh and Mr. Gannon, and to the entire faculty for sharing his many responsibilities in working for better schools.

The Future Leaders of a Better Crooksville With a feeling of deep regret, we, the seniors of Crooksville High, turn our backs to our Alma Mater to face the horizon of life. It cannot be said that we do not appreciate the time and effort each teacher has spent with us throughout our school career. Senior boys were scarce when it came to athletics since the class has only ten boys. Those participating brought glory and honor to the class of ’47. Boys playing varsity football were Dick Spencer, Bill Roush, and Keith Brown. Dick Spencer and Bill Roush received honors by being chosen on the Muskingum Valley all-star teams. When basketball season began our class was represented by Jim Boring, center, and Dick Spencer, captain. Our class was proud of the fact that Dick was chosen honorary captain for the football and basketball teams. A base-oall team was organized and the seniors were represented by Jack Moore, Raymond Baker, Dick Spencer, and Keith Brown. Intramurals were played every day at noon. Bill Roush and Keith Brown were among the high scorers of the school. Josephine Wilson and Betty Klingler were chosen to play on the all-star girls’ team. The class was also represented in the concert and marching bands of Crooksville High School. Patty Heskett and Bill Burley played in the concert and marching bands, while Mary Lou Pryor was the drum major. Last year we put on p play entitled “Going on Seventeen.” It was highly piaised by those who attended. Those participating were: Keith Brown, Rose Marie Atkins, Bill Roush, Jim Boring, Dick Spencer, Bill Burley, Maurice Fauley, Patty Heskett, Shirley Price, Patty Bradshaw, Dolores Sharp, Betty Klingler, Edna Mae Brown, and Donna Allwine. This year we put on a play entitled “Let Me Out 01 Here.” Those making up the cast are: Patty Heskett, Edna Mae Brown, Bill Roush, Jim Boring, Maurice Fauley, Bill Burley, Betty Klingler, Patty Bradshaw, Mary Lou Pryor, and Dolores Sharp. The National Honor Society assembly was held in the auditorium and those chosen on the National Honor Society were: Dolores Sharp, Carol Darling, Caroline McIntyre, Keith Brown, and Rose Marie Atkins. -SENIORS- The senior assembly was held on May 23. The will and class prophecy was read and the songs were sung for each of the twenty-seven seniors. We paid tribute to the school and sung our last farewell. The class of 1947 may not be leaving deep footprints on the sands of time, but it is taking with it the good will and the good wishes of faculty and under classes of good old Crux-Hi.

Most of tnis planning is done in the front office but Mr. Darling did give us several chances to express our wishes and these wishes were followed. We selected Decoration Day as the date we preferred for our commencement rather than be the first C.H.S. class in history to have a June graduation date. We voted, unanimously, to continue the old tradition of having our baccalaureate sermon preached in the Methodist church. More room for our guests and not so far to walk to practice. Reverend R. LaVerne Ervin, pastor of the local Church of Christ, is scheduled to preach the baccalaureate service at 8:00 p. m. Sunday evening, May 25. Mr. T. R. Nelson, music director, is preparing the vocal music with a group from the C. H. S. glee clubs. Mrs. Florence Myers, the Methodist Church organist, has been asked to play an overture to be followed by the traditional march of Crooks- iile Seniors, the classic “War March of the Priests.” The class president, the honor students and a member of the State Department of education will share the commencement program. The principal speaker will be Mr. R. M. Eyman, Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State of Ohio. Mr. Eyman is a former superintendent of the Fairfield County Schools. The class will be represented by Carol Darling as valedictorian, Dolores Sharp as salutatorian and Keith Brown who, as class president, will preside. Mr. Darling will present the class to Mr. Delmer Hoops, President of the Board of Education, who will deliver the diplomas. Music by a small band rather than by the usual orchestra is being planned by Mr. Nelson. Tidbits About Seniors CYRIL ADAMS—How does pool pay off?

In the field of sports, the juniors were particularly outstanding. During the football season, some of the highest scorers were junior boys. Junior Varsity members are Joe Wilson, Bob Freriks, Brian Gibbs, Dave Harper, Dick Barnett, and Bill Woodward—all junior athletes. Not to be forgotten are the junior subs: Ron Phillips, Tom Brannon. When basketball season rolled around the juniors were represented on the floor by Bob Freriks, Bill Hull, Joe Wilson, and Brian Gibbs. Reserve players were Don Rarick and Dick Barnett. Glory was brought to the class when Bob Freriks and Bill Hull were chosen on the Muskingum Valley League’s first and second teams respectively; while Joe Wilson received honorable mention. While intramural games were being held, Paul Thomas, a junior, held high-point title of the year and the junior boys’ team won the school championship. Peggy Searls, Ruth Moore, Phil Marlowe, and Barbara Kemerer, all active members of the girls’ intramurals, were four of the nine all-star girls’ team, chosen to play against the winning girls’ team of the year. The juniors are well-represented in band by Ruth Moore, Georgene Leasure, Dave Harper, Bill Hull, Bill Mercer, Ruby Trout, Marybelle Giles, Tom Brannon, Georgeanna Moore, Bob Freriks, Jack Snide, and Peggy Searls. Juniors helped in other phases of school life, as well as in athletics. Junior librarians were Georgene Leasure, June Watson, Thelma Swank, Phil Marlowe, Peggy Searls, and Jane Grubb. And what would the office have done without the nelp of Madonna Kellenbarger, June Watson, and Barbara Kemerer. These juniors make up the newly selected staff of the CRUX-HI-REVU: Editor—Ron Phillips; News Editor—Elaine Dillehay; Feature Editor—Virginia Gibbs; Business Manager______ Jack Snide; and Circulation Manager—Don Rarick. The winner of the Prince of Peace Contest, Jack Snide, is another junior. The “Boomville Band Concert,” the junior assembly, will be remembered for its wit and well-presented talent. This assembly was a stepping stone to the junior play, ‘‘June Mad.” Its huge success definitely showed that the juniors are continuing to go forward. We, the juniors of ’47, have tried hard to play the part of an active junior class. As we prepare for our last year, when we will be lordly seniors, we hope that with the lessons learned this year, we will be able to be shining examples of the Crux-Hi students.

The St Dry of ”The Fortyniners We the sophomores would like to know why everybody wants us to be quiet; can't you see we just can’t be? “Noisy Sophs” that’s us! The future class of 1949 is going strong, with many band members, athletes, and what have you. In football we turned out full tilt with such members as: Bob Sagle, Dick Cady, Don Morrison, Jay Stine, Harold Wiseman, Jim Burley, Dan Yoder, Larry Curl, and George Stockdale. In basketball: Don Morrison (the dreamer), Jim Burley, Dick Cady (the laugh), Bob Sagle, Eddie Hoops, Jay Stine, and Harold Wiseman. We are ably represented in band by Donna Henning, Bob Sagle, Eddie Hoops, Marjorie and Rosalie Mercer, Nancy McKinney, Jim Burley, Larry Curl, Bill Levering, Harold Wiseman, Martha Moore, Barbara Springer and Marilyn McMil-lian, with Ruby Whitehead as drum majorette. Our graduating cheerleaders will be ably replaced by three new cheerleaders, including Nancy Pitcock and Glenna Jones, both from the class of ’49. When Student Council holds a meeting we find President Jim Burley presiding, Nancy Pitcock taking minutes, and Bob Sagle and Rosalie Mercer on the front row. Our class officers are Jim Burley, Eddie Hoops, Rosalie Mercer, and Dick Cady. Don Morrison and Dick Cady crack the whip over the seventh graders every time the chair gang holds a session. So you see the sophomore class is going to go far and be outstanding in their future.

We have Ann Hull, Joanne Bowers, Leva Levering, Dorothy Watts, Dona Leasure, Phyliss Pryor, Carol Hughes, Inge Blechschmidt, Sally Heskett, Jeannine Price, Dolores Karr, Larry Williams, and Duane Watts. Our Christmas party was a gala affair with a gift exchange and dancing. Those representing the freshmen in Student Council are Dorothy Watts, Carol Hughes, Duane Watts, and Jack Rarick. Larry Williams, Donny Trout and Jack Rarick were steady managers for the Ceramics. We have a good many steady honor roll students and hope to have many promising students for our senior year. In sports we contributed Duane Watts, Danny Luman, Donny Trout, Raymond Townsend, Jack Rarick, Larry Williams, Bob Allen, Earl Watson, and Gerald Hammer. The Crux-Hi-Revu staff members are; Carol Hughes, Joanne Bowers, Lois Darling, Ann Hull and Betty Ann Channels. OUR JUNIOR HIGH E I 0 H T H GRADE BOTTOM ROW: Left to right— P. Tatman.

We predict a future champion football and basketball team from this group. Also a glorious extravaganza of dates for the girls. As this picture went to press these children were working very hard on their operetta, “Molly, Be Jolly.’’ This was a juvenile play in two acts. A cast of 160 children presented this play at the High School Auditorium, May 23. ABOUT EAST SCHOOL SENIORS The Sixth Grade of the East School is a busy, industrious class with its fifty-six students combined. The class is divided into two groups, Mr. Gannon’s class and Mrs. Mears’ class. Together they have been active in their History Club, Audubon Club, Gra-Y Club, and Spelling Bees. All of them are members of the Junior Red Cross. Their participation in their operetta was outstanding and it was a very successful performance. They boast a very active Boy Scout and Girl Scout group. The Sixth Grade also has an exceptionally responsible and reliable Safety Patrol in which they help the school children safely across the street in front of the school at noon and evenings. This class will no doubt be well trained for their future jaunt to Junior High. Snapped at East and North FIRST ROW— East School Patrol at work. North School Janitor, Downar. North School teachers.

These students are elected members of the society by a committee of faculty members on the basis of character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Alumni members who presided at the service were Garnet Luster, Jean Brooks, Patty Sowers, Evelyn McGuire, and Hilda Allwine.

Ifka Has a Busy Year Ifka has had a full calendar during this school year. Christmas cards and wrapping paper were sold to make money so that Ifka could honor their mothers at the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet. The cards netted $164.25, which was very good. The October activity for Ifka was a travel party with Peggy Searls’ house as winner. The activity for November was a Hoe-Down party given for the Hi-Y boys. This was a lot of fun and enjoyed by everyone. Patty Heskett and Joe Wilson won prizes as the Hoe-Down boy and girl. The activity for December was the nicest of all. That’s when the girls have the annual Christmas party with a tree, Santa, and all the trimmings. Two girls go together and bring a small child. Games were enjoyed and each child received a gift and some candy from Santa. In January the girls enjoyed a Chili supper, and dancing in the music room, and after the supper the girls went to a basketball game in the auditorium. In February was our long waited for Washington Tea. This year the tea was a little different than before. A minstrel was presented and enjoyed by all guests. “Courtesy Week” was held on December 4. Two pens were awarded to the two most courteous students. They were presented to Caroline McIntyre and Robert Russel. The annual Mother-Daughter banquet was held March 27, at the Evangelical United Brethren Church. Miss Alice Stratton gave an interesting talk on “Shawls.” The new officers for 1948, president, Barbara Kemerer; vice president, Peggy Searls; secretary, Virginia Gibbs; treasurer, June Watson; were installed by the old officers of 1947, president. Rose Marie Atkins; vice president, Mary Lou Pryor; secretary, Edna Mae Brown; and treasurer, Patty Heskett. This year’s Ifka girls will be the first to have pins. The pins, similar to Hi-Y, are blue and gold. B CLUB American History Honor Students BOTTOM ROW, Left to right— Nelson, McIntyre, Wintgens, Klingler; Advisor, Miss Dillehay. MIDDLE ROW— Heskett, Baker, Sharp, Atkins, Bradshaw. TOP ROW— Hammers, Burley, Roush, Fauley, Brown. The honor club of the American History class is unusually small this year, not because of lack of interest in history but because of the small class. The attendance has varied from three to fourteen. Most of the programs were put on by the club members but one very interesting guest speaker was invited in during the year. Mr. Harold (Slim) Showers kept the club members so interested that they almost forgot to go home telling of his experiences in Africa and Asia and of his work among the stars of Hollywood. Of course the girls were full of questions about Van Johnson, Frank Sinatra, etc. The club project for the year has been raising funds for an honor cup to carry annually the name of the outstanding American History student. The club was organized some sixteen years ago by Miss Carolyn Dillehay as an incentive for better work in her favorite subject. The officers for 1946-47: President—Dolores Sharp. Vice-president—Rose Marie Atkins. Secretary-Treasurer—Maurice Fauley. Reporter—Betty Klingler. Spanish Club BOTTOM ROW: Left to right— Nelson, France, Atkins, Smith. MIDDLE ROW— Wintgens, S.

On April 14, the group presented a Pan American Day assembly with many interesting numbers and a skit. The members correspond with many Spanish friends in Spain, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, and Argentina. Officers of the club are: president, Rose Marie Atkins, '47; vice president, Eddie Hoops, ’49; secretary-treasurer, Edna Mae Brown, ’47; reporter, Carol Hughes, '50.

Student Council Functions Again After a three year lapse the Crooksville Student Council functioned again in 1946-47. Mr. Darling called for elections early in the school year and all classes from the Seventh Grade thru the Twelfth sent representatives. The Council organized according to the constitution adopted in 1930 with Jim Burley, Class of ’49, as president; Dick Spencer, ’47, vice-president, and Nancy Pitcock, 49, secretary. Mr. Worthington was elected faculty advisor. Of the many problems handled by the Council the matter of letter awards for athletes was probably the most important. The old system of accumulative credits leading to the varsity letter near the end of the athlete’s senior year was discarded in favor of a letter for each sport to be awarded after the first season that the player participated fully in a sport. Service stripes are to be added for subsequent years of participation. The Council turned down, emphatically, the suggestion that the honored name, “Ceramics,” be discarded in favor of Black Bears or some other animal designation. The student governing body also helped in the selection of CRUX-HI-REVU as the name for the new school newspaper. The problem of wearing slacks was discussed and carried to the front office where the decision was made the substitution of slacks for dresses for the girls was not to be encouraged but that the final decision as to how students dress rests with the parents. The Hi-Y Club — THE MEMBERS — BOTTOM ROW, Left to right— Hoops, J. Burley, Barnett, Cady. MIDDLE ROW— Advisor, Mr. Worthington; Fauley, Gibbs, B. Burley, Curl. TOP ROW— Stine, Boring, Snide. Hi-Y Has Small But Interesting Club The Hi-Y Club of Crooksville High has enjoyed a successful and interesting year despite a small membership. Bill Burley ’47, is president, Brian Gibbs ’48, vice-president, Jay Stine ’49, chaplain, Maurice Fauley ’47, treasurer and Jack Snide ’48, secretary. Mr. Worthington was selected as club advisor. The club decided to insist that its members either be active or drop out. A deadline for payment of dues got rid of all except those who were really interested and left the club with 12 members. The club presented the school with a large U. S. flag for the outside 6taff, nelped sponsor the Holy Week service and the Prince of Peace contest as well as taking an active interest in other school affairs. The competition of football, basketball and baseball probably keeps the club from the large membership enjoyed by the parallel organization for girls, the Ilka Club. However, the Hi-Y has, and will continue to contribute much to life at C. H. S. The Crux-Hi-Revu Staff BOTTOM ROW: Left to right— Burley, Darling, Fauley, Sharp, Hughes. MIDDLE ROW— Mclntvre, Heskett, Marlowe, Smith, Price. TOP ROW— Phillips, Brown, Snide, Rarick. Crux-Hi-Revu, Crooksville High's New Newspaper The Crux-Hi-Revu, Crooksville High’s new newspaper and the first high school newspaper we have had for many years, was born (went to press) on December 10, 1946. A new mimeograph machine, hard work in the English and typing classes not to mention hard pushing by Miss Coulter, Miss Snell, Miss Eswine and several pep meetings presided over by Mr. Darling, got the new paper off to a good start. Class of 47 members were, of course, the big wheels of the news staff. Carol Darling was Editor-in-Chief, Maurice Fauley was the News Editor, Bill Burley the Business Manager, Dolores Sharp the make-up editor and head typist, and Jo Wilson the staff artist. From December 10, 1946 to April 9, 1947, 1,530 copies had been published, making an average of 260 per issue. The high school could boast nearly 100% purchase of the paper all year. Carol Darling resigned as Editor-in-Chief in April so that she could devote all her time to the editing of the annual. The staff that finished the year was: Editor-in-Chief, Maurice Fauley; News Editor, Elaine Dillehay; Sports Editor, Keith Brown; Business Manager, Bill Burley; Jr. High Editoy, Carol Hughes; Literary Editor, Joanne Bowers; Feature Editor, Ronald Phillips; Make-up Editor, Dolores Sharp; Circulation Editor, Don Rarick; Art Editor, Jo Wilson; Asst. Art Editor, Phil Marlowe; Typists, Caroline McIntyre, Patty Heskett, Shirley Price, and Maxene Smith; Sponsors, Miss Eva Coulter, Miss Mary Eswine, and Miss Ruth Snell. Improvement has been noted each time in the typing and placement of the pages. We cannot boast a perfect copy, but we have almost reached our goal in the April 23 issue. The typists should be given a mention since they are the ones who work long and hard over the stencils, steadily trying to improve the paper. They Built This Book THE CRUX-HI-SKAN STAFF EOTTOM ROW, Left to right— Darling, Sharp, Heskett, Atkins, Klingler; Advisor, Mr. Darling. TOP ROW— Burley, Moore, Boring, Fauley, Brown, Spencer. ABSENT— Bill Roush, Mary Lou Pryor, Edna Mae Brown, Caroline McIntyre. THE CRUX-HI-SKAN STAFF STARTED LATE AND WORKED HARD Like Hamlet the Class of 1947 was plagued with the question “to be or not to be.” When they moved into Room 8 in the fall of 1946 and became the ranking class of C. H. S., they thought that to have an annual was impossible. The Crux-Hi-Skan had been on the shelf since 1942. Some of the class leaders talked with Mr. Darling about it and were told that considerable study would have to be given the question to determine if the expensive engravings and the careful printing needed for a good year book could be had. The front office investigated the possibilities of an off-set type book which is much less expensive and also much less desirable than a printed book. It was found that such a book could be had. In the meantime the local printer, Mr. H. J. Bierly, was consulted. He gave a bid on a minimum book that was within the amount that the class figured they could raise. The office gave the go-ahead signal and the Class of 1947 proceeded to sell 300 books, the greatest advance sale in 18 years. Advertising too, sold well. As a result the original plans for a little book of less than 60 pages and with a-bout half the usual pictures were quickly expanded to 76 pages and as many or even more engravings as the Crux-Hi-Skan usually carries. A new departure in the selection of a staff was used. The class elected their editor-in-chief, business manager and all staff members. Maurice Fauley was first selected as editor and Carol Darling as associate editor. Due to illness Maurice resigned and Carol was elected editor-in-chief. The class acknowledges help that made this revival of a 30-year-old tradition at C. H. S. possible to: Mr. Darling, who acted as faculty adviser to both the editorial staff and the business staff: to Mr. Bierly, who figured so that a printed annual could be had and who arranged to get the engravings, and Elinor Madden, editor of the Crooksville Messenger, who had charge of the composition work at the Print Shop. The 1947 Crux-Hi-Skan staff also acknowledges a lot of help from nearly every member of the class in the collection of the materials. Special credit goes to Jack Moore and his advertising gang who found ads where many thought they could not be found. This editing is lots of work, lots of headaches but also lots of fun and certainly has a real educational value. THE FUTURE HOME MAKERS ASSOCIATION For Better Homes” F. H. A.

(Future Homemakers of America) was one of the most active groups of the year. The club participated in a district convention at Lancaster and a state convention at Columbus in addition to a full calendar of home activities. Officers for the year were Martha Moore, ’49, president; Wilma Combs, 47, vice-president; Virginia Gibbs, ’48, secretary; Joanne Sowers and Nancy McKinney, parliamentarians. The Mothers’ Tea was the highlight of local activities when the girls entertained their mothers at a delightful party in the Music Room with a program and refreshments. Other events included a chili supper and a skating party with “dates.” The F. H. A. is a national organization with local chapters in schools that have vocational home economics departments. Its goal is told in the name, to encourage girls to plan to be the future homemakers of the nation. It has been a popular club in C. H. S. this year with excellent support from other groups and from the student body in general. The club advisor, Mrs. Ruth Miller, is also the instructor in vocational home economics. She has made the work of her department and the affairs of the club her first interest and deserves high credit for the success of F. H. A. DRAMATICS For Better Expression and - For Fun'' The student activity at Crooks-ville High with the longest tradition is the class plays, the annual Junior Class Play and the annual Senior Class Play. When some of this year’s seniors were helping remove some stage scenery from the old Crooks-ville Opera House they noticed on the dressing room walls, along with the name of by-gone vaudeville troupes, scrawled and sometimes beautifully printed casts of Junior and Senior plays of a quarter of a century ago. Mr. Fred Gross, owner of the Opera House, stated that many even older lists had been covered when the place was remodeled years ago. TOP ROW— Angela (Patty Bradshaw) and Gifford (Bill Burley). The cast and staff of “Let Me Out of Here.” SECOND ROW— Keep on explaining, Bill. That’s a telling him, Maurice (Mr. Ward). THIRD ROW— About time to learn your lines, don’t you think? Assistant director, Rose Marie Atkins, with some unruly performers.) Having trouble. Bill? BILL AND GEORGENE — If she doesn’t want to see you, Bill, go on home! GROUP — Just the cast of JUNE MAD. RON AND VIRGINIA — Sing on, Ron, sing on. JACK AND PEGGY — Poor Jack’s getting it again. GEORGENE AND BOB—We didn’t mean for you to act THAT shy, Georgene. RUTH, DAVE, BOB AND MARY-BELLE—It doesn’t seem to us that Ruthie’s ankle is hurting. DRAMATICS The Seniors in Let Me Out of Here The Seniors are looking out for a bright future, but did not yell “Let Me Out of Here” until May 9, 1947. On that date it turned out to be a hilarious three-act farce comedy. Bona Lynn (Patty Jo Heskett) and Eve Boyd (Edna Mae Brown) work together as typists and share a little two-room apartment. Bona has a handsome orother, Garret (Jim Boring) that Eve would like to meet. Eve has a wealthy aunt who wants her to marry Gifford Morton (Bill Burley), a poet and author. Eye wants to be independent and has led her aunt to believe that she has been going to a girls’ school, when in reality she is working in the same office with Bona. Aunt Angela (Patty Mae Bradshaw) and Gifford are coming to pay Eve a visit! Eve isn’t ready to be found out yet, so she and Bona go to ask a friend to play the part of Eve’s teacher. While they are out Garret arrives with a friend, Victor Ward (Bill Roush). While waiting for the girls Victor tears his trousers and Garret goes out to get them mended, not realizing that it is a holiday. While he is gone the snoopy old landlady, Mrs. Rhodes (Betty Klingler), almost discovers Victor, but he gets rid of her by wearing a kimono and head scarf and pretending to be one of the girls. Aunt Angela and Gifford come in and see Victor, but think they are in the wrong apartment. Then Victor’s father (Maurice Fauley) arrives— dirty from changing a tire. While he is cleaning up, Garret steals his clothes to get even with Victor! Then, things really start popping with the colored help involved. Hazel Miles (Dolores Sharp) and Stevie Cobb (Mary Lou Pryor) brought a lot of laughs because of their many superstitions. Things get worse and worse until it seems that nothing can straighten it out. But all ends happily in a most amusing way. The June Mad Juniors Were you hep About the news? “June Mad” came And chased our blues. This three-act play was presented by the Junior class April 25, 1947. The story revolves about Georgene Leasure and Bill Hull, the boy next door, as they go about the frequently difficult, but always amusing business of growing up. When Dave Harper, Georgene’s uncle, brought Bob Freriks home from college, she forgot to be a man hater and succumbed to an attack of calf love which is ten degrees worse than measles. We loved Virginia Gibbs who was young in spirit and full of a particular charm, which made her home a rendezvous for all her neighbors. Ron Phillip’s humor was slightly sardonic, but even when the noise of the young people drove him to distraction, he was ready to laugh at his own impatience. Peggy Searls and Jack Snide provided much of the comedy as the cheerful, kindly help who were really a part of the family. Marybelle Giles saw all, heard all, and told all. Brian Gibbs had his worries in trying to steer Bill Hull away from gliders toward a study of law. Jane Grubb and Dorothy Rodgers were among those who always seemed to fill the Woods house to overflowing. “June Mad” reduced its audience to a state of laughter, limp-and-pop-off-the vest buttons merriment.

GOING ON SEVENTEEN—Junior Play of 1946 Our Junior play was a three act farce entitled “Going on Seventeen.” The story revolved around a young gentleman who was going on seventeen. Buddy Carhart, played by Keith Brown, and his two pals, Paul, played by Jim Boring, and Shrimpie, played by Bill Roush, got into more trouble than any three persons should ever dream of. He was scolded and ridiculed by his sister, Florence, played by Rose Marie Atkins, who was trying to get everything ready for the arrival of her school chum, Joan Vincent, played by Patty Heskett. But everything goes wrong when Joan decides to bring her younger sister, Lillums, played by Shirley Pi ice. Mr. and Mrs. Carhart, played by Bill Burley and Betty Klingler, have their hands full trying to keep the house in order while Joan is visiting, but Buddy and his two chums get everything in a tangle. Craig Vincent, played by Maurice Fauley, arrives suddenly and things are in a mixed condition when Tom Williams, played by Dick Spencer, arrives. Comedy is furnished by the hired maid, Elsa, played by Dolores Sharp. Also in the play are: Helen, Edna Brown; Doris, Donna All wine; and Agnes, Patty Bradshaw, friends of Florence. Everything turned out for the best as most plays do, even when it involves a boy “Going on Seventeen.” The play was under the direction of Miss Betty Watts, class advisor, and Caroline McIntyre, assistant director. MUSIC Music in the Crooksville High School is a combination of credit course and extra-curricular activity. The regularly scheduled band and glee club classes are for high school credit, V4 per year. The marching band, the operetta, and the special entertainments put on by students from the music department are a part of the extra-curricular activities. Vocal music goes well back in the history of C. H. S. For many years the school had an orchestra but the development of a marching band goes back only about ten years.

This has been one of the busiest years the band has ever had. Early in September the new uniforms came, thanks to the Band Boosters. Forty-nine band uniforms and a director’s uniform were presented to the school. The $2500 owed on the uniforms was received in various ways. Tag day was observed, and the last concert of the year went toward buying the uniforms. The band thanks the Band Boosters for their gracious work. Also during the year a new tuba and French horn were purchased out of the music. The band participated in the Labor Day celebration at New Lexington, which was sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. There a band contest was held between eight bands. The band also took part in the homecoming celebration at Muskingum College, at New Concord. They also went to New Lex to participate in a Republican Rally. The band also attended many out of town football games. They made the journey by bus to New Concord, Roseville, Bremen, and New Lexington, where they put on very good shows in marching. The annual spring concert was held in the auditorium, Friday evening, April II, 1947, under the direction of T. R. Nelson. Band letters were awarded to the sophomores who had served faithfully in the band for two years and pins were presented to the three seniors who had served faithfully all during their high school careers. GLEE CLUB The Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs presented an operetta entitled “Trial by Jury” on February 4, 1947. Both glee clubs also took part in the spring concert.

Dresden was defeated by a fighting Ceramic eleven 13 to 6. Despite the loss of Brian Gibbs, who received a knee injury and didn’t return to the line-up until later on in the season, the Ceramics showed great power on offense in half-oack Bob Freriks, guard Bill Roush, and tackle Bill Hull. They also displayed talented defense from end Joe Wilson, quarter-back Dick Spencer, guard, Keith Brown and tackle Dick Barnett. The following week when the Ceramics met a strong invading Caldwell eleven it was a different story. The Ceramics were defeated 7 to 0. A week later the Ceramics treked to New Concord, only to be trounced 20 to 7, and our worst defeat of the season. The next week the Ceramics were handed another lacing by the “Big Reds9’ of McConnelsville. The score was 13 to 6. A 12 to 0 defeat by Roseville came next on the victors’ field. Then came a 25 to 19 victory over Bremen and along with it came new hopes to the Ceramics grid team. The following week we invaded the home of the Philo Electrics and trounced them 13 to 12, in a hard fought game with both teams showing talent and skill. Next came the Glouster Tomcats, who were handed a 23 to 7 drubbing. The New Lexington Panthers, one of the strongest grid teams in these parts this year and Muskingum Valley League champions, were given the shock of their lives when the Ceramics invaded them and held them to one touchdown. It had been predicted that they would defeat us by at least five touchdowns. The Ceramics threatened to score several times during the game and once we came within one yard of scoring only to be stopped by half-time. Although we lost five games and won four, we were always a threat to our opponents, and we hope to be stronger next fall. Here’s luck to Coach Henry Schroth and his 1947 grid team. CERAMIC FOOTBALL SEASON LINE-UP — REGULARS Guard Bill Roush, class of ’47, outstanding on defense as well as on offense, lie made second team on the “All M. V. L.” Quarter-back and Captain Dick Spencer, class of ’47, the only Ceramic to make the “All M. V. L.” first team. He was outstanding on defense and did most of the passing. Guard Keith Brown, class of ’47, was an aggressive, slashing defensive player. He helped to lead the interference on offense. End Joe Wilson, class of ’48, did practically all of the pass receiving. The only player that wasn’t substituted during the season. Honorable mention on the “All M. V. L.’’ team. Half-back Bob Freriks, class of 48, did all of the punting and a large per cent of the running. “All M. V. L.” second team. Tackle Bill Hull, class of ’48. Good ball carrier and a dependable defensive player. Half-back Brian Gibbs, class of ’48, is one of the hardest fighting tackles in the M. V. L.; “All M. V. L.’’ second team. Half-back Dave Harper, class of ’48, one of the shiftiest boys on the team. Center Bob Sagle, class of ’49, a first year player, made the first eleven and honorable mention on the “All M. V. L.’ End Jim Burley, class of ’49, a dependable blocker and a fair pass receiver. Guard Dick Cady, class of ’49, has the fighting spirit and determination of a football player. Full-back Larry Curl, class of ’49, is the fastest boy on the team and a powerhouse on the defensive line. SUBSTITUTES Guard Tom Brannon, class of ’48, played about the most steady ball of any player in the Roseville game. He received a varsity letter. Tackle Bill Woodward, class of ’48, injured near the middle of the season, but came back strong in the New Lex game. He received a varsity letter. Guard Ron Phillips, class of ’48, had a fighting attitude despite his lack of size, saw considerable action. Quarter-back Don Morrison, class of ’49, will probably be our future passer. Half-back Harold Wiseman, class of ’49, another good prospect. Tackle George Stockdale, class of ’49. Guard Don Yoder, class of 49, was outstanding in the New Lex game. Center Duane (Sid) Watts, class of ’50, saw action in the Philo game. Full-back Gerald Hammer, class of ’50. Half-back Jack Russel, class of ’50. End Raymond Townsend, class of ’50. End Bob Allen, class of '50. The 1946 Season's Record Sept. 13 13 Dresden 6 Sept. 20 Crooksville 0 Caldwell 7 Sept. 27 7 New Concord 20 Oct. 4 6 M.

Ceramic Cheerleaders Boost Our Teams i t 1 p r i • ft HA £� V ■iMf 1 % SHIRLEY, ROSIE, MAXENE, AND MARLENE Always out front in boosting the morale of our teams with well chosen cheers are the Varsity cheerleaders. This year the Varsity squad of four included Shirley Price, Rosemarie Atkins, Maxene Smith and Marlene Henning. These girls, with only rare exceptions, attended every varsity lootball and basketball game both at home and away. In addition to long hours of practice for the games, the girls with their coach, Miss Dillehay, planned some of the cleverest pep rallies ever put on at C. H. S. Rosie and Shirley have credit for three years as Varsity leaders while Maxene and Marlene were completing their second year on the squad. The three seniors, Rosie, Shirley and Maxene, are leaving their Alma Mater this year with lungs still intact, we hope. The Ceramic fans say a respectful “so-long” and “well done ’ THEY WERE ABSENT......... These kids thought they’d get a picture by themselves—they didn't quite make it. FRESHMEN— Lois Darling, F. H. A., Glee Club; June Poland. F. H. A., Glee Club; Jack Rarick, basketball manager. Glee Club, Student Council, baseball manager; Iris Luster, F. H. A., Glee Club. SEVENTH AND EIGHTH— Don Stalter, Howard Tigner, Dick Brown, Carol Smith, and Glee Showers. Ceramic Basketball BOTTOM ROW: Left to right— Gibbs, Morrison, Freriks, Spencer, Hull, Wilson. SECOND ROW— Trout, Rarick, Cady, Boring, Burley, Barnett, Coach Schroth. TOP ROW— Williams, Hoops, Wiseman, and Yoder. The Players Jim Boring, a senior, alternated at center and was always a scoring threat and a dependable defensive player. Captain Dick Spencer, a senior, played at guard. He was strong on defense and one-handed shots were his specialty. Bob Freriks, a junior, was the only player that made the “All M. V. L.” first team and was our steady scorer. Bill Hull, a junior, was a standout on defense. He made the “All M. V. L.’’ second team. Joe Wilson, a junior, was our pivot man, and he was always coming through with the hard-to-get shots. Brian Gibbs, a junior, was a steady defensive player and somewhat of a scoring threat. Don Morrison, a sophomore, is a set-shot specialist and a steady defensive player. Jim Burley, a sophomore, is a good side-shot. Dick Cady, a sophomore, played mostly reserve, but got some varsity experience. Bob Sagle, a sophomore, will probably be our future center. 1946-47 Ceramic Cagers Win 20, Lose 5 The 1946-47 Ceramic basketball team with one of the best winning combinations in the past 20 years, won 20 games while losing only 5. They were co-champions with New Concord High of the Muskingum Valley League and placed third in the annual district tournament played at Logan, Ohio. They added two cups to the growing collection of trophies to be admired by future classes of Crooksville High students. The record includes two sweet victories over the New Lex team. The County-Seat’s allegedly sharp-clawed Panthers were just mewing kitty cats this year. The climax of the season was the Philo game here played before a packed house of howling fans with the lead changing so fast that the outcome was in the balance from the very start. First place in the Muskingum Valley League was at stake and at the time it appeared that the winner would be headed for the championship. The Electrics were finally cooled off by the minimum possible win, one point. The score C. H. S. 37, Philo 36. Ceramic Basketball The bitter pill of the season and the second climax was the loss at New Concord of the Ceramic undisputed lead in the league by 34 to 29. The old bugbear, overconfidence, seemed to catch up with the Ceramic five that had been coasting thru a series of easy wins. When district tournament time rolled around the road to Logan became a race track for C. H. S. fans rushing to get seats. They saw their team trample two good county championship teams by overwhelming scores before the Glenford jinx plus one, Glenn Hursey, All-Ohio center and captain, swamped them in the semi-finals. They went on to cop the consolation finals. Although Junior Bob Frer'ks was probably the stand-out player, the team’s record was built on team play rather than individual prowess. Crooks-ville fans have saldcm seen a better passing outfit or one that had more real basketball sense. Coach Schroth’s long hard practice sessions and emphasis • on team strategy paid off on the score board. SEASON RECORD TEAM OPP. C.H.S.

Mr. Schroth served over three years with the 3rd Army in the European theater of war. Coach Schroth attended Muskingum College for three years, during which he played varsity football. He then entered the University of Cincinnati where he obtained his B. A. degree in Physical Education. Coach Schroth will be with us for at least two more years, and we’re sure, that with cooperation from everyone, he will turn out winning ball clubs. BASEBALL RE-ORGANIZED This year, with the aid of Coach Schroth and the approval of Supt. Darling, a baseball team was organized. New baseball uniforms and equipment were purchased. There were twenty candidates out for the team on which they played a sixteen game schedule. This is the first baseball team Crooksville Hi has had for five years. BASKETBALL INTRAMURALS Intramural basketball was played for the first time in several years. The Senior team led in the intramural standing until the last two games, both of which they lost to the Junior team. These two losses gave the Juniors a one game lead to win the intramurals. High scorers were Paul Thomas, Keith Brown, and Bill Roush, first, second, and third respectively. F IRST TEAM Bill Roush Ed. Waltimire Paul Thomas Don Rarick Bob Hammer ALL C. H. S.

The following pages are given to those recent Crooksville High Classes who graduated during the war years and who were unable to publish the Crux-Hi-Skan because of wartime shortages. We do this in order that the lists of graduates and the athletic records of these years be preserved. We congratulate these classes and the war-time faculty for the way they kept Crooksville High traditions of good schools alive despite the difficulties of the war years.

Over $500 of the cost of this book, approximately two-thirds of the total cost of printing, engravings, photography, etc., was provided by these advertisers. We urge you readers of this annual and boosters of Crooks-ville High School to thank these advertisers for their help and to deal with them. Future editions of the Crux-Hi-Skan will also have to depend on advertising for much of the expense of editing a book. The advertisers will feel that their effort pays if they know that the 300 annuals sold are 300 salesmen working for them. -
